Introduction

The Adventist Youth (AY) honors were introduced in 1928 with the objective of developing the physical, mental, and spiritual capacities of youth and adults. Each honor is designed to be a study that introduces a subject that has practical value, which will enhance the lifestyle of the person pursuing the honor. Honors are considered "windows to be opened in the mode of discovery" within the philosophical framework of the church.

This manual includes all honors currently recognized by the General Conference Youth Ministry department and also those specialized honors recognized by various Divisions. There is a wide selection of challenging honors to interest juniors through adults. Families, Pathfinder clubs, Master Guides and elementary school teachers can use honors as a tool to encourage the exploration of new interests and development of skills.

Skill Levels Each honor is assigned a skill level to guide leaders in selecting grade-appropriateness. Skill levels are divided into Level 1 (Grade 5-6), Level 2 (Grade 7-10), and Level 3 (Grade 11 and above). These levels are recommendations designed to guide leaders in their choice of honors.

Instructors Some honors require an instructor. The instructor may be a school teacher or a church or community friend who is qualified to give the necessary guidance to complete the honor. An individual who serves as the instructor for an honor receives a silver diamond pin that may be attached to their honor patch.

Honor Patches The Conference Youth or Pathfinder Department is the source for honor patches, instructor diamonds, and advanced stars. Your Conference will have an order form and will give you directions on how to order. Patches are usually presented at Investiture or during a church service.

Advanced Honors Many of the current honors have an advanced level. Over the next several years more advanced honors will be added. Honor patches are marked "advanced" with the addition of a small bronze star.

Master Awards Master patches are earned by completing selected honors within a category. Requirements are listed at the beginning of each section.

Resources In past editions, a resources section has been included with each honor. Because of the rapid change in availability of books, you will find the resources listed at the beginning of each section. (ie. Arts, Crafts & Hobbies, Nature, etc.)

Honor Requirement Updates For the latest information on honor updates and new releases go to pathfinders.
